Today I talked to the guy who runs the local housecleaning service I use. He said he's lost workers as a result of the immigration crackdown. Because he doesn't have enough workers anymore, he's now having to turn down housecleaning jobs. He said a friend of his is having the same problem with his landscaping business. They can't find workers.
These industries and more are going to suffer.
Then he should raise his price. The housekeeping market is out there as lazy sloppy homeowners are willing to fork out the higher price. Quite be bitchy and start being smarter.

A lot of them pay zero tax.
They use far more in taxes than they contribute. NYC alone spends about $4B a year on illegal immigrants.

Says the same person that opposes any minimum wage increase citing "it will hurt small business owners."
LOL
The clownery continues.

Fear of increased ICE raids have already negatively affected the nation’s agricultural sector, causing alarm that food prices could skyrocket in the near future as a result of Donald Trump’s aggressive immigration policies.
Bakersfield, California, saw a massive drop off in the number of field workers showing up for work last week after Border Patrol agents in unmarked Chevy Suburbans rounded up and detained immigrants in the area, profiling individuals they believed to be field workers, reported CalMatters. The end result: acres of unpicked oranges roasting in the California sun at the height of the season.

I would be OK with inflation if every illegal left this country and the Mexico border was fully secure. At least something good came from it(country would finally feel more first world).
Instead I got Sky high inflation due to ineffective and over reactive year long covid shutdowns by draconian leftist policy makers that required trillions ofndollars of money to be printed to pay relief checks to all the laid off workers and sketchy ppp loans.
MAGAs: "Why does everybody call us racist?"

Watch this before you repeat talking points about how we need to bend the knee to illegal behavior for "the sake of the economy".

Businesses reap all the benefits of illegal immigration without dealing with any of the costs. Society is the one burdened with the costs, which are often left out of the discussion on the impact of illegal immigration.
And when we talk about costs, why is the focus only on financial costs? What about the cost of overcrowding in schools (and disproportionately more focus on poor-performing students or those that don't speak English well) on quality of education or in hospitals on responsiveness and quality of care? Or the cost of crime and traffic accidents? Or the cultural impact of bringing in masses, mostly from the underdeveloped world, that don't assimilate or care to?

The question is: When the bottom drops out with they finally admit that this incantation of the Republican Party doesn't care about the country.
I never thought I'd miss Reagan and the Bushes.

“Unfortunately, the real minimum wage is always zero, regardless of the laws, and that is the wage that many workers receive in the wake of the creation or escalation of a government-mandated minimum wage, because they lose their jobs or fail to find jobs when they enter the labor force. Making it illegal to pay less than a given amount does not make a worker’s productivity worth that amount—and, if it is not, that worker is unlikely to be employed.”
― Thomas Sowell, Basic Economics: A Citizen's Guide to the EconomyFor example, nobody has a job taking your order at McDonalds anymore.

Who will you call to complain about your local grocery store not having any fresh produce because all the migrant farm workers left?

Why is all this necessary? I thought we built a border wall and Mexico paid for it. How did all these people still get in to the country?
